Pedestrian ramps provide access on and off streets and sidewalks and are an essential tool for all pedestrians. This data is a comprehensive list of all pedestrian ramps throughout New York City.

Please note that measurements shown are not indicative of whether a particular ramp is compliant with design and construction standards pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). DOT applies additional parameters in its compliance assessment of the data collected by Cyclomedia, including specific site constraints located at or near a pedestrian ramp, otherwise referred to as a technical infeasibility in the ADA. The constraints that constitute a technical infeasibility can include but are not limited to elements such as underground vaults, transit facilities, steep terrain conditions, and limited public right-of-way, which are not readily apparent through the data and imagery collected. As such, compliance determinations at some locations require further analysis and site inspection. These locations are noted as “Pending Technical Review” in the published assessment available at: https://www.nycpedramps.info/survey.

A survey of 248 street corner pedestrian ramps near accessible subway stations to determine ADA compliancy.

New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) has developed a program dedicated to upgrading and installing pedestrian ramps and is committed to making our pedestrian space safe and accessible for all road users.

The term corner refers to intersection corners (space on the sidewalk at the intersection of two streets), midblocks (a crossing that is not at an intersection, usually in between two streets), tops of T-shaped intersections, medians or islands (a small section of raised concrete in the street). A corner can have one or more ramps.

This dataset tracks corner and pedestrian ramp complaints and their temporary repair status. Temporary repairs may include but are not limited to the use of asphalt on corners and pedestrian ramps.
